15 of south London's best craft beer pubs and microbreweries
drinks food location
So if you love a good beer, be it from a local microbrewery or a small producer in Idaho, head to one of these great south east London (and our adopted cousin Brixton) pubs… 1 The Florence, Herne Hill One of the first brewpubs in London, The Florence is a grand old dame of the craft beer scene.
131-133 Dulwich Road SE24 0NG; 020 7326 4987; florencehernehill.com 2 Crown & Anchor, Brixton Road Martin Harley is owner of the Crown and Anchor on Brixton Road, which opened in April 2012, a great modern craft pub that’s attracting a cool urban crowd with great beer and food and convivial surroundings.
There’s also an ever-changing selection of keg beers and regular house favourites from the likes of Thornbridge, Dark Star and Ilkley, as well as a huge range of bottled beers sourced from all over the world (and, um, just over the road, from Brixton Brewery).
There are 8 real ales and ciders on hand pull, and a wide range of craft beers in kegs and bottles, from the best of London’s breweries – including Brockley Brewing Company, Camden Brewery, Late Knights, Meantime, Fuller’s and Beavertown – to interesting beers from further afield.
You’ll find their beers at plenty of south London pubs, including the Craft Beer Co on Brixton Station Road.

Self-taught brewer: Daniel Tapper.
Photo: Robert ChiltonAll-round affable foodie gent – and self-taught brewer – Daniel Tapper is more than happy to discuss one (or rather, three) of his favourite local haunts on a stretch of the A2214 road variously named as East Dulwich Road, Nunhead Green, and Nunhead Lane, home to a trio of independent specialist beer sellers: The Flying Pig, Hop Burns Black, and The Beer Shop.
Photo: PRFirst stop on the route is where not only can you purchase fine craft beers from local brewers and sample some classic cocktails but, as the meaty name suggests, the pub also specialises in authentic American BBQ.
Photo: PRLast but not least, a 15 minute walk down the road and located opposite the rather ominously-named Pyrotechnists Arms (“which also happens to hold a really good selection of cask ales, if that’s more your thing,” says Daniel), is this less ominous sounding and more practically-named joint.
The Beer Shop is a husband-and-wife operation, a small and friendly micropub with a strong belief in supporting independent breweries.
The Flying Pig, Dulwich
"We really enjoyed the Jamboree Club when we visited to listen (and dance to) the wonderful Dom Pipkin and the Ikos.
Wonderful night - great people there too.
But so sad to hear that the Club may not..." Which venue is this?
We made reservations but the host did not honour..." Which venue is this?

The Flying Pig aims high with its extensive range of beers.
Unfortunately, the Flying Pig’s signature dish of pulled pork failed to take off; it was too dry, and the addition of maple bacon wasn’t sufficient to rescue it.
A shame, because there seems to be passion in the place to serve up genuine American barbecues; when asked why there wasn’t a pudding, the waiter replied: ‘If it can’t go in a smoker or barbecue, they don’t want to do it.’
Portions are large – two starters and two mains proved too much for two people.
Little details such as a lack of help-yourself napkins – a must for a place that serves lots of sticky finger-food – also show the management hasn’t quite got the food formula right yet.
